Publish from anywhere

Access the powerful, automated, multichannel, multiscreen publishing capabilities of Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server (2015 release) as a web service. Work more flexibly by scheduling publishing tasks anytime, anywhere using your web browser. You can also integrate and schedule the FrameMaker publishing service from your content management system.

Comprehensive multiuser support

Allow multiple users to access publishing services and run tasks remotely, at the same time, using their web browser. On logging in, users are able to see their own publishing tasks, output status, next-run date and time, and logs generated; as well as their templates and presets, and shared templates.

Increase enterprise productivity

Increase enterprise productivity by managing publishing centrally. Create new publishing tasks by choosing the source file and types of output, and specifying settings for each output required. Run your tasks instantly or schedule them for later. Easily view logs, outputs, and published status, and sign up for notifications.

Creation and reuse of publishing task templates

Work productively with shareable, editable publishing task templates, in which you specify outputs and their associated settings, pre-publishing and post-publishing tasks, notifications, and output location. Use template to publish with different source files, and create tasks that will inherit the template’s settings.

Reusable presets for publishing

Save time and effort by defining publishing presets. Use these presets with different source files to avoid having to specify settings repeatedly. Share your presets with other users across the organization, and standardize the appearance of enterprise content.

Use the same API and the FrameMaker Developer Kit for both Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server (2015 release) and Adobe FrameMaker (2015 release)*, thereby making it easy for programmers to transfer their skills from one environment to the other.

Shareable publishing task configuration

Reuse settings to set up similar publishing tasks. For example, if you created a task to output PDF, multiscreen HTML5, WebHelp, and eBook (EPUB 3, KF8) formats from a set of source documents, you can edit this task to create a task for other source types.

Post-publish commands

Automatically run post-publish system commands or batch files. Use post-publish commands to automatically rename, move, or archive output files, especially when running regular builds, so that subsequent builds do not overwrite earlier output files.

Command-line execution of builds

Invoke tasks and schedules created in FrameMaker Publishing Server from the Windows command line.

Extensive logging

Take advantage of extensive logging for all processes in publication tasks to comprehensively report all tasks executed by FrameMaker Publishing Server. You can customize the level of logging and the parameters to be logged, and view logs for recently completed runs of the same task.
